Winter Break Travel Guide For Westerly

With winter break in full effect, it's time to forget about school and enjoy the next month off. While at school we often reminisce about what we miss most about this small town, but every time we get home it seems like there's nothing to do. So after the big reunions with your friends, get in the car and hit up these places that make up a great travel guide:

1. The beach.

Even though it's freezing, it's the ocean state and you're having major withdrawals so grab your scarves and hit the sand even if it's just to breathe in that salty air.

2. Downtown


Shop local, sure it's probably more expensive, but seeing downtown with the Christmas lights and the stores you shopped in as a kid will have you feeling nostalgic.

3. The gym...

it's a necessary evil because that Christmas meal isn't going to burn itself off and the school food is making you feel like a pork chop.

4. Malted Barley

With these mouth-watering pretzels, it makes for the perfect location to reconnect with old friends and enjoy a local staple at the same time.

5. The Wilcox Park

what's better than a place with a million dogs running around? Or a million hills to sled down as we cross our fingers for some snow because who doesn't love being a kid again sometimes?

6. Ice cream


Whether it's Mel's or Cold Stone, or even the new gelato place, you won't be disappointed by these amazing treats.

7. Savoy

Need some time to yourself? In a quiet, cozy area with a cup of coffee and book to read? Savoy is perfect for those moments where you need a mental break from the chaos of the holidays.

8. Pizza Place


Because that chopped pasta salad is too good to resist.

9. Junk and Java

Because you'll definitely need to fuel that caffeine addiction if you want to make the most of this break.

10. TJ Maxx

Where better to celebrate you surviving another semester with a little retail therapy?

11. Road trip

Whether it's to Newport or Mystic or wherever; create a Spotify playlist with a wide range from oldies to new music, pick up your friends, and get a change of scenery because while Westerly is amazing, we still have a couple weeks to enjoy it so get out there and be adventurous.


While the travel guide primarily consists of food, these places are a must to go to on this break and who better than with friends and family.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
